Plants naturally have a defense mechanism with which they protect themselves in stress situations. This stress can be caused by factors such as diseases, pests and micro-organisms (biotic), but also by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and light (abiotic). When the plant experiences stress, the immune mechanism is set in motion and the plant starts to produce substances that protect it from these dangers. 

Products for plant resilience ensure that the plant's natural defence mechanism is strengthened, so that the plant reacts faster and more vigorously to stress situations and diseases. This offers the possibility to limit the use of chemistry. The effect of plant resistance products is similar to the effect of vitamin pills in humans: they strengthen the immune system, making you less likely to become ill and heal faster in case of illness. 

Plant resilience can be strengthened in various ways, both above ground and underground. This can be done above ground by stimulating the plant immune system, by using plant strengthening leaf fertilizers and by increasing plant vitality. Strengthening plant resilience underground can be achieved by using plant strengthening fertilizers, stimulating soil life and by using absorption and soil improvers. Below you can read more about the different possibilities to increase plant resilience.

By stimulating the plant immune system, plants can better defend themselves against diseases. This reduces abiotic stress factors.

Plant-fertilizing leaf fertilizers support the growth, the processes in the plant and the absorption and conversion of minerals and trace elements. By applying these products, the needs of the plant are always covered sufficiently.

Increasing plant vitality ensures that the processes in the plant run more efficiently. The cell of a plant can be compared to a factory: the more efficiently it runs, the higher the yield.

Plant fertilizers support the growth, the processes in the plant and the absorption and conversion of minerals and trace elements. By applying these products, the needs of the plant are always sufficiently covered.

A balanced amount of life in the soil reduces the risk of soil diseases and pests. Soil organisms can be stimulated by adding micro-organisms to the soil and by stimulating the populations existence.

Absorption improvers increase elements in absorbable form in the soil and/or stimulate consumption by the plant itself. Think of an optimal rooting or improved soil structure. Organic fertilizers lead to soil improvement, more fertility of the soil and slow nutrient release.

Combining different products for plant resistance purposes can enhance the effect of the products. However, this is not always the case. Therefore, always get good advice before combining different products.

Some products have side effects on the natural enemies present in the crop. Therefore, It is important to get advice on the use of the various plant resistance products as well.

Why a healthy soil life is important for the crop
The soil life is of high importance in the cultivation of flowers or vegetables. The processes that take place in the soil, directly affect the visible growth of the plant.

How to establish a nutritional feeding schedule?
In order to establish a nutritional feeding schedule that ensures optimal results, it has to be carefully aligned with the nutritional needs of your crop. There are basic nutritional feeding schedules available for all types of crops.

Seaweed as fertilizer for an improved plant resistance
Seaweed or algae: they are familiar from our visits to the beach. Did you know seaweed contains loads of minerals and hormones?
